So, you’re looking for the best psychiatrists in Katy but don’t know where to start.
Don’t worry, it’s a common problem people often face.
Does that mean you’d never be able to find the best psychiatrist in town?
Well, we didn’t say that. We’ve actually prepared a detailed guide to help you with finding the most experienced psychiatrist in your area.

How to find the Best Psychiatrists in Houston?

What if we tell you that finding the best psychiatrists in Katy is not difficult at all?

The fact is that we rarely search for these professionals. Therefore, we don’t know a lot about it. But here is the step-by-step guide that I use to find the best psychiatrists near me without any hassle.

Ask for a Recommendation
Let me ask you a question.

What’s the best way to find a dentist in your town?

Asking for recommendations from your friends and family members, right?

So why don’t you do the same when looking for a psychiatrist?

Let me guess. You’re afraid of telling them about your situation. Whether you believe it or not, it’s always good to share your thoughts with your loved ones when you’re going through some stress and depression. Your friends and family members can give you the best advice.

However, if you’re still hesitant to talk to them about your situation, you can simply ask your therapist or primary care doctor for a recommendation. They must be familiar with the professionals providing services in this category.

Search Online Directories
There are lots of online directories available you can use to find the best psychiatrists in Houston. The American Psychiatric Association, Psychology Today, Health Grads, Psychopharmacologist Guide, Castle Connolly, and Geriatric Psychiatrists are some of the best names you can use to find a psychiatrist in your town.

Most of the directories are available for free. But sometimes, you’d have to pay a minimal fee for accessing these directories. However, these directories often help with finding the best professionals in your area.

Medical Centers in Katy
Medical Centers in Katy and Houston can also be a great place for starting your research. The medical centers often have an affiliation with the medical schools. 

Look for Subspecialties
Like many other individuals, you might also be looking for a general psychiatrist to resolve your problem. But we recommend looking for someone who has a subspecialty in your category. For instance, if you want to get rid of an addiction, you must look for an addiction psychiatrist. Thus, your job gets easier and you can easily find the best psychiatrist for your needs.

Your Katy Psychiatrist Search - What to do next:


Let’s say you’ve found a few psychiatrists using the resources we’ve mentioned above. Now, how would you figure out whether they are best for you or not? Let’s talk about the factors you can use to find the best psychiatrist for your needs.


Recent reports are finding that 50% of psychiatrists no longer take health insurance.  Insurance companies do not want to pay for the time needed to accurately diagnose mental health conditions.  Psychiatrists that do not take insurance are more likely to spend quality time with you to get to the root of your problem.

Areas of Expertise
We’ve already mentioned that you need to find a psychiatrist that specializes in your particular category. However, if you didn’t consider that factor earlier, you can now ask the psychiatrists about their area of expertise.

If you’re looking for a generalist, you don’t need to worry about it. However, if you’re looking for someone with expertise in a subspecialty, you shouldn’t underestimate this aspect. You should also ask the psychiatrists if they have specialty board certifications or not.

Explore their Website
The best way to understand the services of a psychiatrist is to visit their website. Almost, all professional psychiatrists have their websites these days where they display their services.

You can explore the website to see whether their services are perfectly suitable for your needs or not.  

Conclusion
Finding the best Psychiatrists in Katy can be difficult. But not anymore because we’ve prepared a detailed step-by-step guide to solve your problem. Just use these tips and find the best possible service in your area. But if you still need help with choosing the best psychiatrist for your needs, we can help you. Just give us a call and tell us about the problem you’re facing.  281-849-4080

Discounted Lab Testing Houston


discount lab houston
Have you ever been surprised by the cost of a medical bill for a blood draw at a lab, physician’s office, or hospital?  I know I have.  A family physician in Houston once tested my Vitamin D level, and my bill after insurance discounts was over $200.  That was just one test.  I was shocked!  Does it really cost that much to analyze a Vitamin D level from one blood sample? 
​

Discount Blood Testing Houston


​​Some negotiated lab rates have huge upcharges with insurance companies.  The lack of price transparency in some aspects of medicine allows this to happen.  Don’t pay these high cost lab fees any longer.  Your Family Psychiatrist has established a collaborative relationship with a local lab company.  In exchange for a simplified payment solution on the behalf of Your Family Psychiatrist, our current patients are able to receive significant discounts on lab costs.  Some are downright cheap.  A screening thyroid test is under $10. 
 
Discounted labs through Your Family Psychiatrist are not always beneficial, like those getting free lab work.  For patients that have already hit their maximum out-of-pocket allowances with their insurance company, all labs may be free for the remainder of the year.  Certain health plans may cover all labs 100%, but this is not typical.  In such instances, you will want to continue to use your health insurance plan to receive no cost labs.  Discounted labs are beneficial for those with high deductibles or when you haven’t met your out-of-pocked maximums yet.  If you don’t have insurance at all, these discounted labs can be significantly cheaper than using a generic lab in Houston. 
 
We offer complete price transparency in that you will know the price of your labs well before you have your blood or other sample drawn.  In the event that your psychiatrist wants to order custom labs for less common conditions, we will work with our lab partner to develop a reduced price for your specific needs.  There will be no surprise bills in the mail. 
 
To receive such discounted lab services, it is important to discuss your labs with our staff before you have your blood drawn.  A special requisition sheet will be generated at our office and provided to you in advance of arriving at the lab facility.
